Access Control Method and Apparatus, and Readable Storage Medium

Abstract

A first functional entity on a multi-access point (MAP) network sends a control message to a second functional entity on the MAP network. Because the control message includes one or more first type-length-value (TLV) messages, and the first TLV messages carry control information, the second functional entity can perform a related operation based on the control information after receiving the control message sent by the first functional entity. In this way, the first functional entity controls the second functional entity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An access control method implemented by a first functional entity on a multi-access point (MAP) network, wherein the method comprises:
 obtaining control information indicating a second functional entity on the MAP network to perform a related operation based on the control information; and   sending a control message to the second functional entity, wherein the control message comprises one or more first type-length-value (TLV) messages comprising the control information.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first TLV messages comprise a first message indicating the second functional entity to report a network performance parameter, wherein the first message comprises identification information of the network performance parameter, and wherein the identification information of the network performance parameter indicates the network performance parameter to be reported. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the first message further comprises at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target basic service set (BSS), information about a data transmission type, a reporting interval, a message validity period, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising receiving a response message from the second functional entity, wherein the response message comprises one or more second TLV messages comprising information about a network performance parameter. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the second TLV messages further comprise at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target BSS, information about a data transmission type, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first TLV messages comprise a second message indicating the second functional entity to configure a mapping relationship between a differentiated service code point (DSCP) and a user priority (UP), and wherein the second message comprises information about the mapping relationship between the DSCP and the UP. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the second message further comprises at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target BSS, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first TLV messages comprise a third message indicating the second functional entity to configure an access parameter, and wherein the third message comprises configuration information of the access parameter. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third message further comprises at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target BSS, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         10 . An access control method, implemented by a second functional entity on a multi-access point (MAP) network, wherein the method comprises:
 receiving a control message from a first functional entity on the MAP network; and   obtaining one or more first type-length-value (TLV) messages based on the control message, wherein the first TLV messages comprise control information indicating the second functional entity to perform a related operation based on the control information.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first TLV messages comprise a first message indicating the second functional entity to report a network performance parameter, wherein the first message comprises identification information of the network performance parameter, and wherein the identification information of the network performance parameter indicates the network performance parameter to be reported. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first message further comprises at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target basic service set (BSS), information about a data transmission type, a reporting interval, a message validity period, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising sending a response message to the first functional entity, wherein the response message comprises a plurality of second TLV messages comprising information about a network performance parameter. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the second TLV messages further comprise at least one of message type information, message length information, information about a target BSS, information about a data transmission type, information about a quantity of third functional entities, or identification information of a third functional entity associated with the target BSS. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first TLV messages comprise a second message indicating the second functional entity to configure a mapping relationship between a differentiated service code point (DSCP) and a user priority (UP), and wherein the second message comprises information about the mapping relationship between the DSCP and the UP.
